Grounded in presence.
Guided by understanding.
Therapy is not about fixing what is broken. It is about understanding and working with the adaptive intelligence within each person.
MY STORY
A Fellow Journey-er.
“I’ve walked, and continue to walk, this path of self-exploration and healing. That matters to me — and I imagine it might matter to you too.”
SOLUMA THERAPY was created from a belief that people are not broken — but often feel disconnected from themselves and from others in ways that make sense given their experiences.
I don’t see myself as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who sits alongside you — paying attention, staying curious, and working together to understand what’s happening in your experience.
This work is personal to me. I value showing up in a way that is real, steady, and genuinely with you in what you’re moving through.
My background in healthcare informs my approach, bringing a level of clinical rigour while remaining grounded in something more human — a way of working that is warm, relational, and deeply attentive to your individual experience.

WHAT GUIDES MY WORK
Values I bring
into every session.
01
Respect for Autonomy & Complexity
Each person is the expert on their own experience. I approach every client with genuine curiosity, without assumption or agenda, and with deep respect for their individuality.
02
Non-Pathologizing, Strength-Based
Emotional and psychological struggles are not defects. They are often adaptive responses to difficult circumstances. My work honours the intelligence within each person’s experience.
03
Safety, Attunement & Trust
The therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation of meaningful change. I prioritize creating a space that is emotionally safe, genuinely attuned, and built on trust over time.
04
Insight in Service of Real Change
Understanding is the beginning, not the end. Therapy at Soluma integrates reflection with practical support, helping patterns shift not just intellectually, but in lived experience.
05
Integrity & Ethical Practice
I work within my scope of competence, engage in ongoing clinical development, and hold clear professional boundaries. My commitment to ethical practice is unwavering.
06
An Open Door
My door is always open for ongoing work, a check-in, or a new chapter. Returning is never a sign of failure. The therapeutic relationship doesn’t have to end.
Relational & Attachment-Focused Work
Understanding how early relational experiences shape the emotional and relational patterns you carry today, and how those patterns can shift through the therapeutic relationship itself.
Parts-Work (Informed by Internal Family Systems)
Getting to know the different parts of you, the protectors, the critics, the wounded places, with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment or shame.
Somatic Awareness
Bringing attention to the body as a source of information and wisdom. Learning to notice and work with nervous system responses rather than override them.
Mindfulness-Informed
You may begin to notice your thoughts and emotions in a different way — developing the capacity to stay present with what arises, rather than needing to push it away or resolve it immediately.
Practical Support & Integration
Where helpful, we may incorporate more structured or practical strategies to support you in day-to-day life — building awareness, strengthening regulation, and finding new ways of responding in moments that feel challenging.
